One year, a young boy stepped on the median and dropped to his knees in front of Chambers.
Sharing a photo of the moment on Facebook, the saluting soldier writes, “Prayers are private he displayed the courage to walk out in front of millions to practice his own faith I had to reinforce his courage and kneel down with him (sic).”
And, in 2012, an unidentified female soldier stopped her baby blue Harley Davidson Sportster and stepped in front of the battlefield cross memorial made of combat boots and a rifle, topped by a helmet.
After saluting Chambers and the fallen soldiers, she then placed a red rose by the memorial, prompting an eruption of cheers from parade goers.
The clip, seen by 6.2 million people since it was first posted on YouTube, captured the hearts of people praising her patriotism.
